If employees have been informed by Talent Strategy about an adjustment in their pay rate due to the approval of Proposition A by Austin voters, they will notice this change in their paycheck on Friday, December 13.
The Proposition A compensation plan includes $17.3 million for market adjustments to teacher and staff salaries. It ensures that eligible classified staff receive a minimum increase of at least $0.25 per hour.
Staff who received market adjustments will see these reflected in their December 13 paycheck. The increased compensation will be paid retroactively, with a one-time payment from the first day of work in the 2024–25 school year included in the December 13 paycheck. Employees who transferred positions during the year will receive retroactive pay for both current and previous positions on December 13 and December 31 respectively.
Retroactive payments are subject to taxes and TRS deductions. Market adjustments apply to base pay, meaning any PPfT compensation is initially removed, then added back after applying the increase to determine final compensation.
Employees who received an adjustment or change in pay grade were notified via individualized email detailing old rates and adjusted rates for their current position.
To qualify for adjustment and retroactive pay, employees must be active with the district at the time of payment.
